Meeting Information

A. ARCHITECT SELECTION, CARR'S HILL ARTS PRECINCT -- To support
the goal of enhancing the visual and performing arts, the
University has initiated a feasibility study for the development
of an Arts Precinct on Carr's Hill. The study will establish
programs for the Bayly Museum, the McIntire Department of
Art, the Department of Music, and the Department of Drama,
and will explore strategies for accommodating the programs
in appropriately configured spaces through renovations, additions,
and new facilities. The Architect Selection Committee recently
completed its selection process and ranked the firm of Dagit.Saylor
Architects of Pennsylvania, as its first choice.

B. ARCHITECT SELECTION, GROUNDSWALK -- To support the development
of a "Groundswalk" linking the University's precincts: the
Health Sciences Center, North Grounds, Central Grounds, and
West Grounds, the University recommends that Ayers Saint Gross,
the architects for the master plan update, develop schematic
plans and cost estimates.

C. ARCHITECT SELECTION, MEDICAL CENTER TERM CONTRACT -- Term
contracts are used for the engagement of architectural and
engineering firms to provide investigations, cost estimates,
designs and related services for small capital construction
projects. Most projects completed under term contracts are
renovations. Since the cost of a term project can exceed $500,000,
Board approval of the architect selection is required. The
first project to be completed under this contract is the renovation
of clinical spaces for the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology
and Radiation Oncology. The Architect Selection Committee
recently completed its selection process and ranked the firm
of Tobey+Davis of Reston, Virginia as its number one choice.
